First topper

After receiving my topper from Betsy, I had to make one. They are so easy and fun. I can't wait to make some more.

It looks like I used white thread for the quilting but I used pale pink.

Happy quilting!

Watch out, John Deere

I did not do one block for the farm quilt last week. So Sunday morning I got busy and made 4. I've stayed with it all this week. I want to start putting this quilt together. While I think each block is cuter than the one before the tractor is just adorable. Hence the title.

You find all kinds of paw prints on a farm.

And you have to have a horse to ride.

Got to have a hat to keep the sun off your face.

A little fat sheep.

A puppy to keep the farmer company.

All the animals are done! Let the sashing begin!!!!! WOOHOO

Happy quilting!

Topper

Betsy has made several toppers and I was lucky enough to receive one. I just love it.

It is just beautiful. I emailed Betsy several times asking her questions about the binding as I can't see one stitch on the binding. And just look at the beautiful quilting.

Everyone come for tea so you can see my beautiful topper. Thank you, Betsy!

Happy quilting!

Be Attitude Jan block

Lindabee is doing the Be Attitude as a BOM and I decided I would join her. I bought the book when we lived in NM, so I've had the book since sometime in 2007/2008. I would look at all the letters and I would get discouraged before I ever got started. The letters weren't bad only doing one block.

After I prepped the Be Warm block I kept looking at it trying to figure out why it didn't look right. I looked at it for 24 hrs before I got the book and looked at the picture. DUH!! I left the words off. lol

I tried to use the same colors in my block that the designer used in her's and I don't think I like it. Next month I will do my own thing.

Happy quilting!

Pretty 'n Pink

I changed the last block on the Pretty 'n Pink quilt. I didn't like the pieced block.

And I goofed. I can't add obviously, I miscalculated when I was figuring the amount of fabric I needed to include the borders. Ugh! The pattern called for the same fabric in the blocks for the border and I don't have enough. I haven't decided what I'm going to do. The quilt without the borders measures 44" x 69 1/2", which would make a nice size throw.

Happy quilting!

Happy birthday

Happy birthday to my baby!

Lacy was 3 mths in this picture.
